Shangzhou was originally a barren area with the lowest level of development and the least attention among the thirteen states in Nanli State. Abandoned babies and fields that had been deserted for a long time could be seen everywhere in the countryside. It was really...

It is hard to believe that this is the territory of a dynasty that has been in existence for more than 4,000 years. However, just over a hundred years ago, because of the appearance of a person, Shangzhou developed rapidly in these hundreds of years, and the people could at least

It is no longer the same as in the past, where you can only sell your wives and children in exchange for food rations. Now Shangzhou, as the largest trading state in southern Xinjiang, the daily trading turnover alone is enough to pay half a year's tax of Shangzhou more than a hundred years ago.

, so it can be said that there is already a new atmosphere here.

But in an inconspicuous small town in the south of Shangzhou, a team appeared early this morning that made others stay away from it.

There were about ten people in this team, but as soon as they entered the city, a few people scattered out. I don't know what they did. Even the people in the city were a little curious, but they endured it after seeing the costumes of this group of people.

Come down.

The remaining people entered an inn grandly, asked for a few rooms, and then told the waiter to just bring them breakfast and lunch.

After saying this, these people entered the house. No sound was heard from a distance. Of course, this was also because there were innkeepers who did not dare to approach those houses.

This group of people were uniformly dressed in fiery red tiger robes, and several of them had an embroidery of a strange beast embroidered on the corners of their robes. Behind them were all carrying a long bow and a bow bag containing more than ten sharp arrows.

, and the reason why the residents and dignitaries of this small town kept away from them was precisely because of the strange beasts embroidered on the corners of their clothes.

"I heard from the spies who just came back that they saw Kumu outside an abandoned house in the south of the city." In the room, the man who looked like the leader became a little uncertain when he said this.

And just after this person said these words, the faces of those standing next to him changed slightly.

"Kumu? Why is he here? Commander, do we need to say hello to him in advance, so as not to cause trouble to Kumu when we take action in a few days?" A woman standing aside was even more excited when she heard Kumu's name.

His face changed drastically, and he was a little panicked

When the leader heard that his capable general became like this after hearing Kumu's name, he couldn't help but glance at the panicked woman, and his eyes were full of disdain and viciousness, but he couldn't help but glance at the panicked woman.

After just one glance, the man gradually calmed down and snorted coldly, saying, "No matter how famous Kumu is, according to the spies' reports, he is just a person.

How can one person and one sword hinder our gold-holding department? Huh?"

This man's vicious eyes looked at his subordinates around him, and said with disdain, "Don't worry about him. If he comes in a few days, one of the three great swords of Nanli will fall first. Even if

It’s Qingtan who wants to come here to seek revenge, so I’m not afraid, huh! And I don’t think anyone can escape from our sharp arrows.”

"Follow your orders"

The people around them all bowed their heads and obeyed orders, and the woman who looked panic-stricken also smiled bitterly in her heart.

The commander was thinking like this now, should he be confident or arrogant... Unfortunately, the woman hadn't thought about it for long before she accidentally saw her commander's slightly trembling fingers hidden behind her back.

Oh, an archer just heard a name and even the fingers holding the bow began to tremble. I guess the words he said were also emboldening himself.

But Kumu hasn't drawn a sword for a long time...or maybe it should be said that everyone who has seen him draw a sword is dead...

In an abandoned house in the south of the city, Zhou Buyi gradually woke up and subconsciously rubbed the back of his head with his hands.

For some reason, it felt like he had been hit hard on the back of his head. It hurt so much. After he got up, Zhou Buyi rubbed the back of his head and looked at the furnishings in the room.

"Why does it feel like I've been here before? Hey! Why is there such a big bulge on the back of my head?"

The palm of Zhou Buji's hand that was rubbing the back of his head suddenly touched a swollen bump. Then, he felt a burst of pain, and Zhou Buji couldn't help but cry out.

But it was a coincidence that after Kumu knocked Zhou Buyi out and put him back on the bed and left, Master Ji first made some calculations about Zhou Buyi and then looked at him. After doing these things, Master Ji was afraid that Zhou Buji would wake up.

No matter what trouble was caused, after all, as far as he could see, Kumu's unexpected palm was enough for the prince to hold a grudge.

Therefore, Master Ji took out his own set of acupuncture equipment, temporarily sealed some acupuncture points on Zhou Buyi's body, and then used his mental power to enter Zhou Buyi's sea of ​​​​consciousness, and transferred that not very friendly memory

It's been wiped away.

So now Zhou Buyi only felt that everything in front of him was a little familiar and didn't notice anything wrong.

"Your Majesty, are you awake?"

Master Ji heard the noise inside the house and pushed the door open. As soon as he came in, he saw Zhou Buyi, who had already sat up and was looking at him suspiciously.

"Who are you?" Zhou Buyi asked the other party softly and tentatively. Although the other party was an amiable old man, for some reason,

Zhou Buyi always felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Master Ji's smiling expression.

"Old slave, I am the disciple of your father, the crown prince. This time, I received your father's secret order and came to protect you, crown prince, so you can rest assured." Master Ji looked at Zhou Buyi respectfully, although Zhou Buyi looked at him respectfully.

The eyes he looked at were full of doubts and wariness, but he still looked kind and loving.

"My father?"

Zhou Busuo quickly said, "Old sir, do you know where my mother is now? Has she ever come home?"

When Master Ji heard this, he replied calmly, "Madam, she went out for a hike a few days ago, but you can put away your worries, Your Majesty. Madam will still communicate with you every half month. Your Majesty, you only need to stay in this courtyard now."

Recuperate from your injuries, and then I will take you back to the capital with you, the Crown Prince."

"Go back to Beijing?" Zhou Buyi's voice was trembling for some reason, but even though he was trembling, his words were very clear, and the originally confused look in his eyes could not help but reveal a hint of resentment at this moment.

But Zhou Bujie didn't notice all of this. He was still wondering why he appeared here and why he was injured. However, although he had many doubts in his mind, he had no intention of asking the old man in front of him.

Obviously, Zhou Buyi cannot trust Master Ji

"Bang, bang, bang"

There was a sudden knock on the door of the house. Zhou Buyi, who was still thinking about the problem, was shocked. He looked at Master Ji with some fear. At this time, he couldn't believe this old man. He was the only one around him at the moment.

Master Ji nodded. When he heard the knock on the door, he first thought of who was knocking on the door, and then realized that he had already deployed some simple formations in this courtyard during the time when Zhou Buyi fainted.

Although the method has no lethality, it is better than concealment and can monitor outsiders. However, the person outside the door can avoid the formation he set up and easily come to the door and knock on the door. He can't help but be very cautious.

Come to treat.

Calmly, he took out a needle from his needle box that was so slender that it was almost invisible without looking carefully. He pinned it between the fingers of his left hand and walked slowly and cautiously towards the door of the house.

In front of the door, he was preparing to open the door and asked loudly, "Who is it?"

"crunch"

Just as the door slowly opened, Master Ji had already filled the place where the fine needle was pinned between the fingers of his left hand with spiritual energy in this short period of time. He was about to take advantage of the shadow of the half-open door.

When he took advantage of the situation and stabbed out, someone outside the door replied:
Chapter completed!
